I was happy to see “A Perfect Getaway” on Kelly’s ANOKS list, because other than the serial killer/slasher type movies (which I’m not really interested in and likely won’t watch), it’s one of the few movies on the list that I hadn’t previously seen. It’s too bad that we hadn’t seen this before this past…
During this cold, rainy July here in San Diego (not a typo), I have found myself thinking back to our vacation to the Big Island of Hawaii from time to time, and realized that I probably left the impression that all there was to our vacation was hanging around the house and getting poisoned by…
One of the things that I did before this recent trip to Hawaii was search Amazon for "Hawaii" + "mystery" because I wanted to take along a book that had some Island flavor. I was surprised at the low number of matches — there was a smattering of Charlie Chan books and a few young…
Note: Big post. But didn’t really want to split it. Please bear along. It’s a good story. What do you expect when you go to a National Park? a) To see breathtaking scenery b) To learn something new c) To appreciate the awesomeness of nature d) To get poisoned If you answered “All of the…
One of the things you (meaning “I”) worry about the most when buying something on the internet is that maybe the product isn’t quite as advertised. This is especially worrisome with lodging – almost all hotels look great on their websites, but what about in reality, right? The same is most assuredly true with vacation…
I'm a little late with this week's drabble, but we're getting ready to hit the road — well, the skies — again. Remember, a drabble is a very short story of exactly 100 words. Feel free to join in and write your own 100 word stories on Fridays, and tag them with “friday drabble”. Link to them…
So, The Beloved has a couple of friends from grad school that usually try to have a "girls weekend" somewhere fun. This year one of the pals is celebrating a milestone birthday and so wanted to do something special. It was decided early on that this trip wouldn't be just a girls weekend, but would…
Show us a picture from your favorite vacation. In 2005 (pre-blog, hard to believe!), we took a wonderful vacation to Kauai. We rented a great little house, right along a rocky shore. (if you know the island, it’s between Poipu and Spouting Horn). Maitais Since the house had a kitchen, we weren’t forced to eat-out…
Show us some birds. When we were on vacation in Kauai in April of 2005 (Two years ago!! Ack!), we had this fantastic house that was right on the coast on the southern side of the island (near Spouting Horn for those familiar with the island). Kauai_cardinals Each morning, we would make breakfast and have…
Show us a picture of you on vacation.Submitted by ●ßoηi†a.in.Ρink●. So, Susan and I are terrible at remembering to get people to take pictures of us together when we're on vacation — its awful. Also, I tend to take more "landscape" shots and she takes more "people" shots. So, she'd probably do a better job…
